Team Covenant recently added to their webstore a set of awesome components for someone delving into the Transformers TCG. These Health Bars have been created to give you an indicator of the status of both your Autobots and Decepticons.

There are two flavours of Health Bar. One of them is in Autobot Red and the other in Decepticon Purple. They come with a set of tokens that track up to sixteen health and each of the bars can be interlocked with another set for those Transformers with more vitality.

I think this is a really cool idea and one that puts me in mind of those video game health bars you see during fighting games. Once again, Team Covenant has done a splendid job capturing the 'feel' of a game and working it into their products to make the game pop that little bit more.

What do you think of the Health Bar idea?

Is anyone playing this? I’m a fiend for card games but I don’t know anyone who has this. The health bars look fiddly. You have to add all the tabs and subtract the right numbers when you take damage? Surely a wheel that went from 0 – 20 would have been simpler.

It would be, but it’s not as cool looking. A friend of mine played the game a bit and really enjoyed it. Don’t think it’s one that he’s going to dive into headlong though. Has some cool mechanics in the mix though.
